    Areas affected...South TX

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 186...

    Valid 052009Z - 052115Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 186
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A couple of supercells embedded within a slow,
    southeast-moving cluster will largely impact the southwest portion
    of WW 186 through 6 PM CDT. Additional severe storm development will
    be possible elsewhere, but appears to be trending towards lower
    probabilities of occurrence.

    DISCUSSION...A pair of deep convective updrafts with echo tops of
    50-55k ft are slowly moving southeastward at around 15 kts. These
    cells appear to have connected outflow and will likely continue
    their slow progression over the next couple hours. The environment
    ahead of them contains appreciable buoyancy with MLCAPE of 2000-2500
    J/kg, supporting a potential increase in intensity through late
    afternoon with a mix of large hail to around golf ball size and wind
    gusts of 55-70 mph possible. With greater MLCIN over Deep South TX,
    in conjunction with increasing mid-level warming in the wake of a southern-stream low-amplitude shortwave impulse, the severe threat
    should decrease during the early evening.

    Farther north and northeast, convection has largely struggled to
    intensify along residual outflows where the boundary layer has been
    relatively cooler. 18Z HRRR guidance suggests this activity may not
    greatly intensify, and the overall severe threat appears marginal.
